# Operation Violett 1974
### Deutsche Demokratische Republik - Nationale Volksarmee 
May 6th, 1974
In a preemptive strike, Warsaw Pact has invaded Western Europe and has overrun many formations along the iron curtain. 
Celle lies at the gates of Hannover, and securing it could provide an opportunity for communist forces to cut NATO forces in half by making an offensive towards the North Sea.
5th Company, 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the East German Army's 9th Panzerdivision, has been tasked with capturing Celle proper, with it's two strategic bridges which will allow panzer deployment across the river Aller.

4. Repel NATO counter-attack.


Mission

###  KNOWN HOSTILES
Celle, Hehlentor and Klein Hehlen are held by a reinforced company of USMC infantry supported by an armour platoon. Their likely positions, as well as the established defenses have been marked on the map.
We expect them to hold their entrenched positions and engage us at range with overwhelming firepower.
USMC equipment: M16, M14, M60, M2, M1919, M72, M101 AT gun, BMG-71 TOW, M41 Walker Bulldog, AAVP-7A1 IFV. Likely positions have been marked on your maps.
 
###   ADJACENT HOSTILES
Further north, at Bergen, a Dutch mechanized regiment acts as a reserve force and will likely send reinforcements as elements around Celle lose ground.
It is expected, that they will use the roads as their axis of advance, in an arc from NW-NE of Celle.

*This event will feature 3 missions. The first two are about the Winter War, in 1939 and the other is about the Continuation War, in 1944. All of them are COTVTs.*
  
  
### Winter war:
**Snow Heist** *51 players*  
During a lull of the Soviet advances into the Mannheim line, a newly established Finnish unit is tasked with venturing into soviet lines and capturing as many tanks and weapons as possible.   
**Broken Line** *51 players*  
With whatever they captured from their previous mission, the same unit will be thrown as a last measure to close a breach made by the Soviet army.

### Continuation War:
**Radio Polka** *59 players*  
A Soviet HQ unit is found, along with their radio truck. The Finnish forces call upon a squadron of Stukas to bomb their position and follow up with a hasty, but still deliberate attack plan. Meanwhile, the Soviet forces there are scrambling to move their supplies back and fortify the bomb craters left by the Stukas. This battle will be a 2-phase operation, where one will take place at daytime and other at nighttime.


# Snow Heist 
*Summa - 17 of December, 1939*

**Weather:**   
Heavy snow, strong winds. Poor visibility (1000m).


## Finnish forces

**Situation:**  
Earlier this morning the enemy launched a probing attack to test our defenses. They are now assembling armored vehicles and reorganizing their forces for a main offensive into our lines.  
HQ has devised a plan to capture some of the enemy tanks while they are shifting resources and personnel. This is where you come in.

**Service and Support:**  
2x Transport Trucks. Each truck carries 13, including the driver.  
1x 37mm AT gun  
1x 45mm AT gun  
1x Maxim gun with 400 rounds total.  
1x 60mm mortar with 15x HE and 4x Smoke rounds. The mortar shells are inside small ammo boxes, carrying 5 rounds each. You might need to load them into a truck.  
4 fuel cans, in case we need to refuel some tanks.  
An infantry platoon worthy of reinforcements (Respawns).  


## Russian Forces:

**Situation:**  
Earlier this morning we launched a probing attack to test the enemy defenses. We now know their weakness but before we can proceed with the main assault we need to regroup our tanks.  
As experienced officers from the Polish War of 1919, you are assigned here to coordinate the defense of these tanks until we receive the necessary reinforcements to proceed with the assault.  


**Service and Support:**  
2 maxims with 200 rounds each, a handful of AP mines and entrenching tools.  
A squad worthy of of reinforcements.  

Snow Heist

# Broken Line  
*Summa - 17 of December, 1939*  
  
**Weather:**   
Heavy snow, strong winds. Poor visibility (1000m).  


## Finnish forces  

**Situation:**  
With no pause for rest, your unit has been tasked with plugging the gap the enemy made a few kilometers west of the previous battle. There was no time for resupply, your unit went into battle with whatever you could scavenge from the enemy.  

**Service and Support:**  
1x  Transport  Trucks. Each  truck  carries  13, including  the  driver.  
1x  Ammo/repair  truck. All  the  weapons and ammo  we  managed  to  capture  from  our  previous  battle  are  inside  it.  
1x  Maxim  gun  with 400  rounds  total.  
1x  60mm  mortar  with  20x  HE and 5x  Smoke  rounds.  
An  infantry  platoon  worthy  of  reinforcements (Respawns).  


## Russian Forces:  
  
**Situation:**  
A  few  hours  ago  we  have  managed  to  poke  a  hole  through  the  enemy  lines and started  pouring  in  troops  through  the  breach. This  breach  is  being  held  open  by  3  battle  positions: Berkut, Kirov and Sarov. These  positions  are  overlooking  all  angles  from  which  the  enemy  can  come and try to  close  the  gap.  


**Service and Support:**  
For  the  defense  of  the  Viha  position, HQ  has  allocated  2  maxim  guns and a  50mm  mortar  with  15x  HE  rounds and 5x  Smoke  rounds  to  your  squad. (A  rangecard  is  inside  the  crate  near  the  mortar)  


Broken Line

# Radio Polka  
*Karelian  Isthmus - 16  of  March, 1944*  

**Weather:**   
Weather: Clear, calm  winds.  


## Finnish forces  

**Situation:**  
After  scouting  operations  the  previous  week, the  Jääkärirykmentti  boys  finally  managed  to  identify  the  location  of  the  enemy  radio  station  controlling  the  attacks  on  our  eastern  front  lines.
We noticed  that  the  enemy  had  moved  some  troops and supplies  to  the  next  village  west  of  the  radio  station  to  serve  as  forward security.  
We  already  passed  this  intel  to  our  friendly  pilots  of  the  German  Kuhlmey  Detachment and they  bombed  their  forward  positions  earlier  this  evening.  
It  appears  that  they  are  retreating  from  their  advanced  position  back  to  where  their  radio  station  is  after  the  bombing  run, and because  our  bombing  run  destroyed  all  but  1  transport  truck, they  now  need  to  use  that  single  damaged  truck  to  shuffle  their  supplies  back  to  their  original  position.  
We  must  use  this  chaos  to  advance  into  the  enemy position and capture  the  enemy  radio  station  before  they  can  reinforce  their  positions. The  more  we  delay, the  more  built  up  their  radio  station  position  will  be  for  our  final  attack.
Do not  expect  the  enemy to  surrender, they  have  sent  their  penal  battalions  which  are  under  strict  orders  to  fight  or  die.  

**Service and Support:**  
1x  Transport  Truck. Carries  13, including  the  driver. It  can  repair  the  tanks.  
1x  T-26C. Carries  8  total (Driver, Gunner, Commander + 5x  pax  on  top) | 50x  AP, 50X  HE  ammo.  
1x  T-34E. Carries  14  total (Driver, Gunner, Commander, Hull  Gunner + 10x  pax  on  top) | 40x  AP, 10X  HE  rounds.  
An  infantry  platoon  worthy  of  reinforcements (Respawns).  


## Russian Forces:  

**Situation:**  
What  was  looking  to  be  an  uneventful  week  guarding  the  radio  station  was  abruptly  jolted  by  the  sounds  of  incoming  Stukas and the  massive  bomb  craters  they  left  behind  on  our  forward  position.  
Enemy  scout  parties  have  found  our  position and called  airstrikes  on  us  right  at  the  moment  when  we  were  transferring  supplies  towards  our  forward  position.  
We  don't  know  if  we  will  be  bombed  again and we  don't  have  any  AAA  in  the  area  to  ward  off  enemy  planes, so  we  must  pull  back.  
The  big  issue  is  that  the  airstrike  damaged  2  transport  trucks, leaving  us  with  only  1  damaged  but  operation  Zis  truck.  
As  we  speak, soldiers  from  the  penal  battalion  have  already  started  constructing  makeshift  fortifications  using  the  bomb  craters  left  by  the  enemy.  
We  must  buy  time  so  we  can  transfer  all  our  supplies  back  towards  the  radio  station  position.
It's  imperative  that  we  transfer  as  much  supply  boxes  as  possible, as  this  will  enable  us  to  setup  better  defenses  for  when  we  fall  back.  


**Service and Support:**  
1x  45mm  20-K  AT  gun. | 36x  AP  rounds.  
1x  50m  RM-38  Mortar. | 15X  HE, 5x  Smoke  rounds.  
1x  T-34/76  Obr. 1943  Carries  14  total (Driver, Gunner, Commander, Hull  Gunner + 10x  pax  on  top) | 40x  AP, 10X  HE  rounds.  
An  infantry  squad  worthy  of  reinforcements (Respawns).

# Gameplay Notes


### Maxim Operator's Manual:

**To deploy the weapon using its stand:**
1) Drop both parts of the gun in the same weapon pool.
2) Pick one part as a backpack and the other *as a launcher*. You will see this option when looking at it.
3) Use the action menu to assemble carried parts.
4) ACE Interact with the gun to get in as gunner.

**To reload the weapon while using the stand:**
1) Have the Maxim Belts in your inventory.
2) From outside the gun, use the action menu to reload it.
3) Do not use the ACE Interact option from within the gun to reload it. It will not work.

**To disassemble the weapon:**
1) Use the action menu to disassemble.
2) Pick up the parts.
3) If you have ammo loaded into the gun, an ammo belt item will appear.

**To fire the weapon without assembling it:**
1) With the weapon system dissasembled, look at the gun part and select 'Take <WEAPON> As Launcher'
2)	Pick up some '[STATIC] 200rnd Maxim Belt'
3)	Press the hotkey to select your launcher. By default it's the 3 key.
3) Find a place to deploy(By default it's the C key) the weapon like any other rifle/machinegun as it had bipods. It can be finicky to deploy it - Try positioning the weapon up and above the object you want to use before deploying it. You can only fire if you are deployed correctly.
There are no iron sights when firing in this mode.

NOTE:  This only applies to the Northern Fronts Maxim. I recommend everyone to get familiar with this. The pre-placed Maxims in trenches and bunkers are from IFA and you should **not** dissemble it. 
   
  
### M2 60mm Mortar Guide:
**To deploy the weapon:**
1) Deploy the baseplate(tripod) using ACE Self Interaction
2) With the tube in your inventory, ACE Interact with it to deploy the weapon.

**To reload the weapon:**
1) Have mortar rounds in your inventory.
2) ACE Interact with the bussiness end the tube to load rounds in.
3) The gunner can now fire.

**To disassemble the weapon:**
1) ACE Interact near the optics of the weapon system.

**To fire the weapon:**
1) Open Range card using ACE Self Interact > Equipment while operating as a gunner.
2) Right click to see the azimuth, charge and elevation on your HUD.

### Mosin round (7.62×54mmR) hit in the chest area will cause a ragdoll on players.
This is a gameplay feature designed to prevent insta deaths. Getting shot in the chest will cause you to ragdoll for about 1 second, but you will survive. Follow up shots will probably make you unconscious or kill you. A headshot will still cause instadeath.


### About Molotov Cocktails
Molotov Cocktails will cause ACE Burn damage to players. The damage area is small, much more realistic than the Molotovs from the SOG CDLC.
You can use Molotovs to destroy the T-26 and BT-7 tanks. There are two ways of destroying tanks with Molotovs:
1) Throw it aiming at the intake port.  
2) ACE Interacting with the tank. To do this you must have the Molotov selected, walk very close to the tank near the intake and ACE Interact with the tank. The intake port of the T-26 is at the rear, the BT-7 intake is at the top of the engine block, you will need to climb on top of it to do this action.  

Here are the intake parts of the tanks:

### Finnish AT Grenades
They will cause a huge explosion, if you don't run away after you throw them you will die.
